We used a 21 year-old's egg as well and did Counsyl to determine whether PGD would be needed. It wasn't needed, but we did move forward with PGS to test if embryos are normal chromosomally because we didn't want to go through another miscarriage as a result of the baby having chromosomal issues. It's just too hard to go through... I think it's a personal decision. Although the risk was low, we wanted to eliminate any risk we could.

I don't know if it's too late to post but I had PGS on donor egg embryos as my specialist said 40% of all embryos are non viable regardless of egg donor or father's age. Funny that exactly 40% of our first grade embryos were not viable. I didn't want to go through any miscarriages or waste any time so we paid the $1200. It was worth every penny as now I know the ones we have left have a fighting chance.

I miscarried with a donor egg embryo. The donor had an undetected genetic mutation which caused the miscarriage for me and for at least one other woman. This is extremely rare, not representative of most donor egg recipient experiences.

As I mentioned below I had PGS testing done... however... I took the best of both worlds option! I had both PGS testing and a fresh transfer.

So the samples of all were taken and sent to the lab and two of those embryos were transfered right away and all others frozen. When the PGS test results came back I was told the results of all embryos - both the ones transferred and the ones frozen. I'm glad I did because 4 out of the 9 embryos that made it to day 5/6 were not chromosonally sound although they were top grade. Thankfully the ones that were transferred were fine (I took the chance they may not be). I now know which ones I have left that are chromosonally sound and don't have the worry of future miscarriages because of chromosonally unsound embryos.

Prenatal Genetic Testing for Twins Prenatal testing gives you and your doctors information about your health and the health of your babies. Here's what you need to know about how it differs if you're expecting twins.
